TECHENDERS SEPTEMBER 2014 (APRIL 2015 DATE NOW KNOWN)

@1973daisey can you bring your battery tester again?

 

Who's Lisa?

 

@vanorak will know

 

anyway, has anyone got a grease gun they can bring (with grease in lol) maybe i should do my beam.
is it ep90 in the steering box? also for the final drive (not auto box itself) i think i still have something yes? any specialist stuff to change that oil? also steering dampers, any to avoid?

 

Yep I have a grease gun, will stick it in

 

ooer missus

 

Is anyone familiar with what you need to do to change a front anti-roll bar? I've looked in Bentley and it seems to be completely silent on how you remove/refit. Any help gratefully received, I will even put up with a bit of pointing and laughing while I am doing it if I have a bit of help.

 

Real easy to do, just need some decent molegrips to hold the new clamp together. You need to undo a 13mm bolt and also remove the clamps, they are pushed on and then a small flap is pushed up to stop it coming off.

 

I will help you @baybirmingham

 

Standard ones are easy - HD ones require a little more effort in clamping them up to put the clips on!

 

Was about to ask if it is poly bushes?

 

Thanks pkrboo. I will bring molegrips and G-clamps as well as all the usual gear. I don't think I need anything else? (just axle stands, jack, socket set, torque wrench, etc)

Well, there are a set of poly bushes in the box with the ARB. However, I have also bought a new set of top quality clamps (zed recommended them because they fit, unlike the cheaper ones, apparently) and there's a set of ordinary bushes with those. However I think the hole in them is too small for the ARB to fit through.

 

Yeah HD bar is thicker

 

Looks like its the poly bushes them. Is that going to create a problem? (Aside from the obvious fact that it'll be harder to clamp them up)

 

No just harder to clamp up like you say

 

,

Is it hard on grease.....

 

Most kits come with clamps to fit brazzy bays and are the wrong shape
Its a lot easier with the right shaped clamps

 

Did quite a bit of tin-bashing to get mine to fit. Re-bent the clip flanges and was amazed they stayed on tbh. Did em on me own and there were g clamps and several sets of mole grips involved but they did go on. As per above the diameter is greater than standard.
